The Jonas Brothers just cancelled a tour and may be close to breaking up, according to TMZ.

Kevin, Joe and Nick have cancelled their 19-show tour that was supposed to start Friday.

The dispute is over their musical direction. Sources reportedly told the website each brother has a different vision of where they want the band to go, ranging from pop to hard rock.

This might be a good time to remember a similar situation among siblings who found an amicable compromise: Marie stayed a little bit country, while Donny remained a little bit rock and roll.

The Jonas boys have apparently agreed that releasing a new record anytime soon would be a stylistic disaster.

TMZ reported the tour cancellation may be a precursor to an official breakup, but no decision has been made. Sources told the site the brothers are meeting this weekend to try and settle their differences.
